First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein W, X, Y and Z are each independently selected from CH or N; D and D 1 are independently selected from a bond or NR b ; A is optionally substituted bicyclic heteroaryl; L is a bond, —C(O)—, —(CR c R c ) m —, —OC(O)—, —(CR c R c ) m —OC(O)—, —(CR c R c ) m —C(O)—, —NR b C(S)—, or —NR b C(O)—; R 1 is selected from alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, and heterocyclyl; each of which is substituted with 0-5 occurrences of R d ; each R 3 is independently selected from halo, haloalkyl, alkyl, hydroxyl and —OR a or two adjacent R 3 taken together with the carbon atoms to which they are attached form an optionally substituted cyclyl; each R a is independently selected from alkyl, acyl, hydroxyalkyl and haloalkyl; each R b is independently selected from hydrogen and alkyl; each R c is independently selected from hydrogen, halo, alkyl, alkoxy and haloalkoxy or two R c taken together with the carbon atoms to which they are attached form an optionally substituted cycloalkyl; each R d is independently selected from halo, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, alkyl, alkynyl, nitro, cyano, hydroxyl, —C(O)R a , —OC(O)R a , —C(O)OR a , —SR a , —NR a R b and —OR a , or two R d taken together with the carbon atoms to which they are attached form an optionally substituted heterocyclyl; n is 0, 1, or 2; m is 1, 2 or 3; and h is 0 and g is 2 or h is 2 and g is 0. 2. The compound of claim 1 , wherein W, X, Y and Z are CH. 3. The compound of claim 1 , wherein D is NR b and D 1 is a bond. 4. The compound of claim 1 , wherein L is a bond, —(CR c R c ) m —, —NR b C(O)—, —(CR c R c ) m —C(O)—, —C(O)—, or —O(CO)—. 5. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of claim 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
